Seniors are the focus of the Western Development Museum’s next two events in September.
First up is a new mini-event called Grandparents Day, which occurs on Sunday, Sept. 8. Visitors can pick up a special activity booklet to complete with their family as they tour the museum. They can collect stories and photos that fill them with nostalgia. This is a great way for visitors to compare and contrast what life was like in an earlier time with someone who lived during that time.
Grandparents Day takes place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and regular admission applies.
The second program is the museum’s annual Seniors’ Week Tea on Saturday, Sept. 28 starting at 2 p.m., which kicks off Seniors’ Week in Saskatchewan. This event includes an informal presentation featuring hands-on artifacts around several Saskatchewan themes.
Reminisce with a program featuring photos and artifacts and take a look back at leisure time, school, transportation, farming and more. Light refreshments will be provided.
You can also learn more about the museum’s new monthly WDM Coffee Club.
Regular admission applies to get into the museum, but it will cost $5 per person if visitors only want to attend the tea.
